In 1837, James Hamilton lost an infant child. His family buried this baby on their property. In later years, more individuals were buried on this tract of land. John Turner, James Hamilton, and Harrison Shaw then donated the land to the Taylor Township Trustees for use as a community cemetery.
The Hamilton-Union Cemetery has also been called the Disciple Church Cemetery, the Hamilton Cemetery, Union Cemetery, the Union Church Cemetery, and the Union Christian Church Cemetery. This burial groun is a public cemetery that is located adjacent to the Old Church of Christ in Christian Union. This is on the east side of Raymond Road, 1/4 mile north of Cotton-Slash Road. It is an active cemetery that is still maintained by the Taylor Township Trustees to this day.
